Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you had a restful weekend. I spent the weekend catching up on work, but I did get a chance to catch the new Downton Abbey movie. Highly recommended. Although not world-changing, it was such a cute movie. A very tight story, arguably better than the first. Definitely check it out.
I’ve got a quintessential Summer post today. I’m talking all things summer tanks—probably the hardest working item I have in my Summer wardrobe. I’m featuring a linen tank from Banana today. But I’ve also reached into the archives to show you a bunch of different ways I’ve styled a tank over the years.
The Summary
Today’s featured item is a linen tank from Banana Republic
The tank is modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

I’ve pulled together several ways in which I’ve worn a tank in the past
The Hardest Working Item In My Summer Wardrobe
1. Linen Tank
(Banana Republic)
The tank top is probably the hardest working item in my Summer wardrobe. I wear them all the time—with pants, shorts, jeans, and skirts. I wear them alone, or I’ll layer them under a cardigan or light-weight jacket.
Today, I’m featuring a linen tank from Banana Republic. It comes in five different colors. I wanted an understated look today and went with beige. I paired it with a pair of white chinos, also from Banana Republic. They come in come in regular and petite and short, regular and long.

I’m absolutely loving this belt bag from Banana Republic. Quite the talk of the town—my oldest absolutely loves it. It’s striking enough to add visual interest to any outfit this summer. Highly recommended.

Love the look! BR is my go-to. The barrel leg looks so much better on than I thought it would. I have the slim utility pants in the cream but I like these you have on better I think. Just received their linen polo I ordered…I think you would like that too!
BR has been killing it the past few years. I shop there as much as I did in the late 90s and early 00s! Definitely a go-to brand these days.
I love the linen tank! Curious what bra to wear with it, with the narrow shoulders and cut back.. Do you recommend a razorback bra?
i wore a racerback bra with this tank. i recently published a blog post that talked about the lingerie for summer:https://www.styleatacertainage.com/featured/how-to-buy-summer-lingerie-2022-edition/
This tank looks cute but requires a special bra – do you have a recommendation?

Absolutely love those chinos and the belt with the pouch! Great outfit on you! I’ve had my eye on those jeans awhile and now that I’ve seen them modeled by you, I’ll be ordering them!
Loving the tan and white color combo. Question, with the thin shoulder ‘straps’ on the tank, what style bra do you wear?
Love your looks always but need your take on this. Your olive chinos and white flowing top make me wonder about a fashion no no. I was informed that if your top was flowing or loose that your bottoms should be more fitting or vice versa. What are your thoughts?
